High stake tournaments in any sport brings out the best of any player and the worst too - be it World Cup in Soccer or cricket or Wimbledon or "Flash Gordon" in IIM C ;) (I just hope some IIMCian is reading this and will be able to appreciate it) or much hyped Ashes series between Australia and England.
No doubt, Australia deserved to win the first win after a fantastic batting display and some superb bowling in the second innings. But thanks to last wicket partnership, England was able to save the match.
And now comes the statement of the century. "England did not display sportsmanship. They used time wasting tactics in the end." This came from none other than, Mr. Ponting. Are such people allowed to make such statements?! He needs to refresh some memory of his and go back only one and half years.
The matter of the fact is that Australia is not able to come terms with the fact that the last wicket partnership held nerve for 40 minutes and saved the test. Come on team Australia, you also tried it way back in 2005.
Learn to give credit to opposition too :)
